I couldn't believe this limitation either. If you are going to do that , at least have bluetooth that supports most phones. It's stupid. If Pioneer is reading this, update this with the next firmware update.

Programming the PESWIPS was a piece of cake, it even works in both ACC and ON now. Maybe I know more than the installers . Bypass works awesome. Appreciate all the knowledge and contributions on here.

Arrgh. I took it back to the installer today and they "reprogrammed" the PESWIPS. It worked fine when the vehicle was running, but then it was buggy when the vehicle was just in ACC. This is not a big deal because I am not going to be sitting in ACC using the unit. But, I did the bypass tonight, went fine I thought. Bypass works great, but now the steering wheel controls aren't working right in "ON" or "ACC". Again about 1 in 10 volume presses works, source or seek don't work at all. I wonder if there is a loose connection or something with the PESWIPS? I downloaded

Got the vehicle back today. Looks great and no problems with the appearance. Only one issue which I found on the drive home. The steering wheel controls work fine while sitting, using ACC. Once the engine is running, the controls don't work well. About 1 in 6 button pushes actually works. I am going to wait to do the bypass until they fix this issue, don't want them blaming the bypass on the problem. Any ideas on the PESWIPS issue? Thanks for everyones input on the board , it has been very helpful.

I actually would anticipate a Pioneer updated cable, I don't think it has to be built into the iPod. Sucks because I wanted to buy an 80GB last week and everyone in my area was out with the new ones expected. Dropped my vehicle off for install this morning, so I guess I will have to find a used 80GB older model, I would think they will be easy to find for a while. This may cinch getting a Touch in the future though. With the built-in WiFi and more robust OS, someone will come up with an easy crack.

That's my problem, I specifically asked if they would leave the dash undone until I went to pick it up and I would do the bypass right there in 2 minutes and they could put it back together. They said No. They will not let me bypass it on the premises. I don't want to mess with the whole dash. I actually followed a friends advice and just ripped the center piece of the console from the top releasing the clamps and I think it comes off enough up top to do the bypass. I can get enough access to get the unit out and could reach back and find the right wires. I'll just clip the Parki

Here's a couple Steelers backgrounds. I am a total Photoshop newbie, so I hope they are okay. If someone wanted to add a cool silver Pioneer or Buick logo in the bottom left, I would be eternally grateful.

Light switch? You mean the cigarette lighter? Thought of another question. So if the install place installs it and hooks up the parking brake like it is suppose to, where is the parking brake wire going to be connected to the car. Will it be easy to find to disconnect it and attach to ground , or should I just cut it and attach one end to the ground and tape up the loose end that goes to the vehicle.

First, thank you to all who have contributed to this site, it's great and has answered most of my questions about the Avic line. Have any users installed a D3 in a 2007 Buick Rainier. A local shop is going to do it for me, but of course won't do the bypass. I even asked them to leave the dash open for me and I would do it, they said it can't be done on their premises. I am not worried about the actual wiring itself, mainly having the dash look normal after I open it back up. Heck, I don't even care about DVD video while driving, I just want the full Nav and Bluetooth functionality.
